Possible to remove MT-82 without the shifter?

[SVT-DADDY]

Kind of a newb this to ask and have happen, but I had do a roadside fix on my new custom shift knob with super glue. Got me through the weekend but I didn't consider that I'll be needed to do a clutch soon.

Looks like there might be a chance I can remove the shifter from the trans and leave it in the car. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

You might be able to soften it up with acetone.

On second thought, I forgot the reverse shift collar rests up in the shifter knob so I guess there's no way to get acetone to the threads without drilling through the shift knob from the top.
That being said I'd try a sample nut super-glued to a bolt to see if acetone even works first.

Try getting a strap wrench
